In January 1993, Ghana transitioned to the Fourth Republic following a series of presidential and parliamentary elections held in late 1992. This significant political shift marked the end of a prolonged period of alternating civilian and military governments. The new republic was established under the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, which delineates the structure of governance and the distribution of powers among various branches of government. The President of Ghana serves as the commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, while legislative authority is vested in the Parliament of Ghana. Additionally, the Cabinet of Ghana and the Ghanaian Council of State play crucial roles in the administration of the country. The judiciary operates independently, ensuring the rule of law is upheld. Elections are conducted every four years through universal suffrage, allowing citizens to participate actively in the democratic process. This transition to a stable democratic framework has been pivotal in shaping Ghana's political landscape and fostering national development. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #FourthRepublicOfGhana #Ghana1992Elections #GhanaConstitution #GhanaianDemocracy #PoliticalHistoryOfGhana
